KSII, Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting.

Can FI postings flow into Controlling actual cost splitting and actual price calculation. I am trying post FI documents(FB50,FB60,FB01) with cost elements, activity type, quantity and cost center combination. I am able to post a document and then I do all the KSS2, in KSII is not able to show me that posting. I need to know, is it possible to move from FI to CO in tcode KSII , if yes let me know i am missing something. and i am getting an error message
Message no. KP250
Diagnosis
The plan or actual activity for cost center , activity type is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 2.

Hi,
As you know, the system splits all activity-independent costs to the activities according to the following three step logic:
-split based on target costs
-if not possible split by splitting structure
-in the last step if the above two were not possible split by equivalence numbers set in transaction KP26
In your case, if there is no actual quantity for the cost center, then the system will split by equivalence number. Therefore please make sure, that the cost center has actual quantity.
Further information is also provided in note 772794.

Actual Cost splitting

Hi,
Before I do the actual price calculation, I need to do actual cost splitting via KSS2.
Suppose that I have 4 activity types for one prod cost center and the operating rates are as follows:
Direct Labor - 2.64%
Indirect Labor - 6.92%
Factory Overhead - 2.43%
Depreciation - 2.75%
Below are the plan fixed and variable costs for cost element Wages which I was able to follow based on manual calculations:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 113,000
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
CE Wages is not part of Factory Overhead and Depreciation activities
I did not use the plan cost splitting because when I uploaded the expenses, the fixed and variable portions have already been separated in the upload file.
Suppose that I made an FI posting for the cost element Wages for the same production cost center amounting to 120,000
The target costs as computed by the system and which I was able to follow also based on manual calcuations are:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 22,000; Variable - 2,985.24
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 50,000; Variable - 0
My problem is in the splitting portion. Assuming there is no splitting structure, system is computing the ff: control costs for cost element Wages:
Direct Labor: Fixed - 35,206.79; Variable - 4,777.78
Indirect Labor: Fixed - 80,015.43; Variable - 0
For these computations, I am not able to follow the logic. First I tried to compute based on the planned costs but it results to a very high variable cost. Then I tried to compute based on the target costs, the resulting amounts are (following 2 splitting steps in SAP help):
Direct Labor: Fixed - 38,830.56; Variable - 378.84
Indirect Labor: Fixed = 66,830.56; Variable - 0
Thanks in advance for your advise.

hai,
how you find the solution?
can you please explain me.

Actual cost splitting - secondary cost element

Hi All,
My knowledge on actual cost splitting for cost centers are limited.
Basically i am trying to use actual activity price calculation. In my splitting structure i have two different cost element group for two activities and i am using splitting rule 30 i.e., activity quantity. The system does the splitting perfectly based on the cost elements groups specified in splitting structure, but i am facing a strange problem. i have also allocated costs from different cost center to the prod cost center used for price calculation through assessment. But i havent used the secondary cost element in none of the cost element group for activities, but still the system is taking the cost of the allocated costs in secordary cost elements and allocates to both the activities in 50:50, which i am able to see in splitting showing as "division of activity-independed actual costs".
Can anybody please let me know, is this the way it works or something has gone wrong.
Thanks
With Best Regards,
GJ

".....the actual costs are distributed on the activity types according to splitting rules. If you have not defined any splitting rules for a cost center, the R/3 System splits actual costs based on the <b>equivalence numbers</b> for the activity types. "
Your case could construed to be a missing splitting rule, because the cost element group is missing the secondary cost element within the splitting structure. As a result, the system may use the equivalence number of the activity types and distribute.
Check the <b>equivalence number</b> of your two activities, it may be 1 and 1 for both activities; hence those costs getting divided equally. I suspect nothing has gone wrong.

Actual cost splitting error (Equivalence numbers)

Hi
I am facing an error during actual cost splitting (KSS2) . The situation is working fine in the case of Plan cost splitting (KSS4)
I want to split costs in a cost centre based on equivalence numbers. But, i dont see any option of maintaining equivalence numbers for actual cost splititng. The option is available ONLY in KP26..
Hence, I have maintained equi no.s only in KP26. This gives me error in KSS2 Quoting some divergence error. The message reads that activity price calculation did not converge
It shows me a picture on screen which displays a loop between activity types. I am unable to understand it
Can any one guide me on this??
Any help wud be promptly rewarded
Regards
Ajay

Hi Mahe,
Here Kss4 Before cost centers are assigned Splliting Structure to cost center r not Plz check.Then Only it Work.Actuval cost Splliting is Working Based On the Production Order Conformation and U r Fi entry Poistings Related to cost Planning.

Bringing the actual cost (splitting among activity type) using 0co_om_cca data sources

Hi expert,
I'm using the data source 0co_om_cca_9 to bring the cost center data but the actual data is not being split per fixed and variable cost.
I've checked with CO team and the process to split the cost happens in the end of the month and it record the data with value type '3' in the covp table but the standard data source 0co_om_cca_9 just get the data with value type '4'.
Does someone know a standard datasource to bring the data with value type 3 from covp?
Thank you.
César Sevilha.

Hi César,
Please check if DataSource 0CO_OM_CCA_2 can deliver what you need.
Best regards,

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split

Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.

The second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Actual cost disappeared

Hi all,
Please if any one can help me,
After entering the standard and actual cost for the items for the opening period and run the revaluation by test subsidiary ledger update request I found that the actual costs for this period are disappeared , by the way I entered the actual cost by copying the standard cost for the same period.
Thanks
Tamer

If you are copying from a Standard Cost Method into an Actual cost method, then you should not run Actual cost Process for that period. Actual Cost Process will clear out the existing cost of all items (under that cost method) and try to recalculate the cost (both Raw Material and Finished Good) using the Actual Transactions in that period.
Thanks,
Dinesh

Actual costing/standard costing

Dear all,
can anybody sugg me what is actual costing&standard costing.and what's difference between two.
regards
usha.

Dear UshaRani,
Standard Cost/Product Cost = Materials Cost(Raw Materials Cost Semi Finished Materials Cost)
Activity Cost(Operation Cost)
1.For all your ROH - Raw materials maintain price control indicator as V and enter the value as Planned
Price 1 and Planned Price Date 1 under Costing 2 View - Planned price tab.
2.For all your Inhouse manufactured semi-Finished(HALB) and In house manufactured Finished materials
(FERT) maintain price control indicator as S and dont enter any value directly in accouting view.
3.For activity's cost(Operation Cost) comes via ---> work centre in which the operation is performed.
4.A cost centre and an activity type where a rate has been maintained for that cost centre and activity type
(T code KP26) will be linked to the work centre under costing tab.
5.As per the operation time,the cost is getting calculated.
6.Overhead cost is the indirect cost which's spend during production.
7.So when the cost rollup is taken using T code CK40N (or else using CK11N estimating & CK24 for
marking and release) all this cost gets added and the materials standard cost is calculated and same is
marked in Costing 2 view under Current Planned price column.
8.Standard cost estimate is done for FERT materials so that automatically the system does for Semi-
Finished products also.
9.Actual Costing is nothing but the value of the materials( Raw-materials cost) when production
confirmation is made for the operation.
10. Say there's a raw material X whose planned price is Rs 10/,so while doing GR for this material Let's
assume for a quantity of 10 the value is Rs120/-,so now the actual value becomes 120/10 = Rs 12.
I hope this will help you to some extent.

Actual Costing concept in Material Ledger

Hi
Masters , can any body please explain the concept of Acutal costing in material ledger i think that involves the following steps:
1 Activate actual costing.
2.Define userdefined names for receipts and consumption
3.Assign user defined names for receipts and consumption /
for the above 2 and 3 points what is the purpose we have to define and assign user defined names in coantrolling level selecting the B+ Procurement and V+ Consumption.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Actual costing is a huge concept. It is difficult to explain the concept in few words
Please go through the following link for detailed informaton:
http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/print46c/en/data/pdf/COPCACT/COPCACT.pdf
Configuration Points:
Path: IMG>Controlling>Product Cost Controlling --> Actual costing/Material Ledger
1. Activate Material Ledger for valuation areas
2. Assign Currency types to Material Ledger Type
3. Assign Material Ledger Type to Valuation Area
4. Configure Dynamic Price Changes
5. Define Material Update Structure
6. Assign Material Update Structure to a Valuation Area
7. Activate Actual Cost Component Split
8. Activate Actual Costing
Coming to your Questions 2 and 3. they are required to be created if you want your own Controlling level for transactions that you would like to differentiate in the material ledger, further than the standard system offers. Normally we don't use unless there are some specific business requirements
Some key points would be:
ML records all receipts, consumptions and variances for each material.
ML gives overview for each material of the starting balance, receipts, consumption, variance and ending balance.
ML calculates the actual cost for each material u2013 finished goods, packaging.
If a material has BOM, variances of lower levels are rolled up to next higher level up to finished goods, to calculate actual cost for raw material, semi finished & Finished goods in ML as unit price.
Calculated actual cost at end of month can be used as standard price for next period in the material master.
SAP MM is on standard price based costing, ML can do monthly average costing.
Direct settlement of all kind of price differences / exchange rate difference/ to materials at the end of the period.
Once activated , it is not that easy to deactivate although possible with implications like not having historic data.
Cannot be used in isolation : All the plants within the company code shall be material ledger active.
Material Price change is not possible after first transaction in that period.
Using material ledger, inventory in US plant in Canada will be available in USD and CAD
Hope this would help you.

Break Up of Actual Costs in a report for list of orders

Hi All,
SAP standard reports displays only the total planned & total actual costs.
Is there any standard report available which can display break up of planned & actual costs along with total costs, for list of orders (e.g: time, material and external resources consumption).
Thanks in advance
JK

hi
you can find the material cost,external service etc in the standard cost report itself select the change layout and select the items you want to display ,you can get the result

We want to post actual cost through statistical WBS elements.

when we do the posting on Costcenter assigned to a Statistical WBS element (2nd level), I was in the opinion that, the actual cost posted on the Costcenter of statistical WBS (2nd level) will reflect to the top WBS element (which is non-statistical in 1st level).
But, I cannot able to see the actual cost in the 1st level WBS which also a Billing element (with this, finally we want to do the Resource Related Billing).
So expalin me how to bring actual cost posted on the costcenter of a Statistical WBS, to top WBS element which is non-statistical.

U can book the actual cost from Procurement Cycle or by direct Invoice posting using FI transaction.
Procurement Cycle:
When you create PR or PO user Account Assignment Q or P and maintain WBS element. When u do GR or service entry actual cost is captured on the Project (WBS element).
Using FI Transaction:
When there is no PO and to book the cost u can use F-43 to post actual cost (via Invoice) and mention WBS element.
U can check the Actual Cost using Line item report CJI3 or S_ALR_87013532.

Estimated Cost and Actual Cost

Hi Friends,
Can someone tell me, which MM tables(logically database) has these fields stored?? Estimated cost and Actual cost??
Note : Where and How can I find the logical data base??
Thanks alot in advance,

Yes thank so much for your quick help.
I see here we can get 1- Plan cots , 4 Actual cost, But in PMCO, how can we get the estimated cost, I see that WRTTP = 1 also contain the value for estimated cost but not plan cost . Please help me.
Thanks

Actual Cost Calulation

HI
Can any one suggest me how actual cost of material is been calculated?
What type of configration we need to do for this?

Dear,
System will take planned price during Order release. ie, how much price given in KP26, depends on that system will calculate.
But while Order confirmation, system will confirm different price. This variance due to actual activity variance, excess material issue.
Try MCRI / MCRY or check the table entries of S027

Actual Cost & Actual Revenue

Dear Sir,
Can you please tell me what Actual Cost & Actual Revenue & also what is difference between Actual cost & Actual Revenue.
Regards,
Gagandeep Singh.

Hi,
IN any project you incur some expenses and at the same time when you sell something you generate revenue. But in the intitial stages you cant say what is the actual cost that you are going to incur or what is the actual revenue you are going to generate at a certain point/phase in a project.
Actual Cost refers to for eg. suppose you procure a bearing for your project. You will create a PR and then a PO. Until this stage system will treat this as a commitment. Once you do the GR/ GI this cost is converted to actual cost. Similarly lets say that you are building a ship and you have procured some components to build that ship. That procurement will lead to a cost because you are incurring some expenditures. Once you build that ship and sell it and bill the customer you will generate revenue. Till the time you receive the payment/revenue from your customer system treats this as Planned revenue. Once you bill your customer and receive the payment system will treat this is as the actual revenue.
So basically Actual Cost refers to the expenditures incurred in carrying out a project and Actual revenue refers to the income generated after billing the customer and receiving the payment for the goods sold.
Its just a basic explanation but hope this clears your query.
Best Regards,
Gokul

I got locked out of Mac os 9 and now I can't get into OS 9 or OS X. All I see is the Macintosh SE and a finder face and text that says "mac os 9.2 welcome to mac os". I can't get into COntrol Panel to reset the password to allow me to get in.

Do you have OS X and OS 9 installed on your Mac? If so, startup with the Option key depressed. This will open the Startup Manager window. Select the OS you want to start from & click the right arrow.
